What's the story with Mollie the crab?

So we have a logo that's a shield with wings: https://www.usds.gov/assets/img/usds-logo-horizontal.png . For an off-site last year in the Chesapeake Bay, our designer Ellen Butters came up with a crab made out of the logo. Ellen named the crab Mollie in honor of Mollie Ruskin, the designer who came up with the original USDS logo. Now Mollie sometimes gets special outfits for special days, much like the Google doodle.…

Nice. Thanks. I saw the light saber version is in ASCII in the source for usds.gov, I figured there was a meaningful back story.

One more observation: If I were to want to work for the USDS, there aren't job listings (that I saw) nor would I know what I was applying for by clicking the "Apply Now" button.

I have been out of Fed. Gov. for about a decade, but the hiring process was very complex and confusing back then, the "rule of thumb" was for people to apply to as many as thirty jobs, and expect to wait a month for a response. I'd recommend explaining how (if) USDS is different. I certainly wouldn't fill out the "Apply Now" form not knowing what I'd be interviewed for, in DC, with a response sometime in the next month.

Hey spez! What's a good background for a jr ML engineer? Would be really interested in learning more.

I'm the hiring manager on this role, I can take this one. ML engineers fall between data science and production engineering. They're responsible for doing their own data analysis and experimentation, plus some light engineering to implement their models in production. We also hire backend engineers to handle the more hardcore infrastructure tasks, so we don't expect quite the same insane level of coding ability as so…

I am from Java(Back end development) background with 4 years of experience. I am really interested to learn and work for machine learning projects. Do you think I should try here? Can you please send me job description if possible, my email id is swapnil.javanjal@gmail.com
